Quinn is a handstand junkie, tequila aficionado and inspiring Estes Park local who suffered a severe spine injury in October that’s left her paralyzed from the waist down.

After traveling the world pushing the limits of technical free climbing for years, and saving dozens of lives in the back country as a climbing ranger in RMNP, her life path has a different direction.

When Quinn’s not traveling, inspiring or saving lives, she teaches others how to save lives as a Wilderness First Responder instructor, and has helped raise money for adaptive sports and environmental nonprofits nationwide.

On On October 11, while trying to recapture the Nose speed record, Quinn took a 100 foot fall halfway up El Capitan in Yosemite. She slipped toward the top of a formation called the Cowboy Boot Flake (which looks like a Cowboy Boot) and hit another formation called the Texas Flake. The Texas Flake is a massive feature that’s shaped like its namesake state. It’s a few feet wide and sits detached from the sheer face of El Cap by a few feet.

Valley locals for years had said this fall would be unsurvivable, but QuInndestructable proved them wrong. She lived. She broke a few ribs, had some internal injuries, and shattered her scapula — and miraculously has no brain damage.
